Vegan ass cheese hasn't caught up to the standards of meat substitutes.

At a commercial level, true. Homebased and craft though, false. I make a lot of vegan cheeses. Here's a vid that shows a comparable blue cheese I made a few weeks ago.

I also sell some lemon-garlic-pepper "goat cheese" to friends. It passes the vegan Turing test too.

Yeah to eat I feel like if you double the price you get something alright.

I don't know any vegan cheeses that are tasty and arent analogous to "artisenal" real cheeses in price. A lot of ingredients are just pricey as hell in bulk. Particularly cashews and mold cultures.

The stuff I've found at the supermarket ranges from awful tasting to almost making me sick. I agree with OP that homemade cheese replacements are great.

This is just my experience, of course.
